‘The Butchery Broxburn’ is due to open on May 24 within the Broxburn Scotmid shop.

The opening will create a number of full-time jobs in the area and Scotmid and Border Meats are encouraging applicants for a range of jobs, from shop assistant to master butcher, to come forward.

Border Meats is a family-run, Scottish business that takes pride in its farm-to-fork butchery, with all beef, lamb and pork is sourced from its family-owned farms in Scotland.

At The Butchery Broxburn, locals can expect to find a range of products from dry aged steaks, sausages and burgers, to stir-frys where customers can select a preferred sauce and meat for their dish.

Kirsty George, local sourcing manager at Scotmid, said: “We are delighted to partner with Border Meats to provide an exceptional choice of quality meats to our customers in Broxburn.

“Demand for fresh, high quality meats has been growing and so this partnership fully supports our core purpose, which is to serve our communities and improve people’s everyday lives.”
